I have never noticed this with any of my other unique emails, just the facebook one.
I think instead of having users agree to permissions on Facebook and Android apps, they should have to explicitly grant permissions to the app. Maybe by dragging an icon or something that represents "email address", "real name", and other concepts.
what's so surprising about this? you can get list of valid emails and just run them through facebook search and you ll get names and profile URLs, both public information no matter what your security settings are. nothing special about this
Where do you get a list of 1 million valid emails?
I laugh at the censor fail. See selected field.
I don't see how the fact that he's a Mozilla blogger is relevant. The file contains "just" full name, e-mail and URL. Thieves got the information thanks to their Facebook apps (no idea of its name), it could happen with any third-party app.
Here's what I think is the offer on gigbucks: http://gigbucks.com/Social-Marketing/26055/instantly-give-yo...
Wow, five bucks. As the saying goes, if you're not paying for the product, you're the product. The new twist here is that the product (i.e., your FaceBook info) is now being sold in the open market for only $5.00/1,000,000, or $0.000005 per person. Prices normally go down only when supply exceeds demand, so the inescapable conclusion is that there's abundant oversupply of this product in the open market. Yikes!
